abstract = {Ferroelectric ferromagnets are exceedingly rare,
fundamentally interesting multiferroic materials that could
give rise to new technologies in which the low power and
high speed of field-effect electronics are combined with the
permanence and routability of voltage-controlled
ferromagnetism. Furthermore, the properties of the few
compounds that simultaneously exhibit these phenomena are
insignificant in comparison with those of useful
ferroelectrics or ferromagnets: their spontaneous
polarizations or magnetizations are smaller by a factor of
1,000 or more. The same holds for magnetic- or
electric-field-induced multiferroics. Owing to the weak
properties of single-phase multiferroics, composite and
multilayer approaches involving strain-coupled piezoelectric
and magnetostrictive components are the closest to
application today. Recently, however, a new route to
ferroelectric ferromagnets was proposed by which
magnetically ordered insulators that are neither
ferroelectric nor ferromagnetic are transformed into
ferroelectric ferromagnets using a single control parameter,
strain. The system targeted, EuTiO(3), was predicted to
exhibit strong ferromagnetism (spontaneous magnetization,
approximately 7 Bohr magnetons per Eu) and strong
ferroelectricity (spontaneous polarization, approximately 10
microC cm(-2)) simultaneously under large biaxial
compressive strain. These values are orders of magnitude
higher than those of any known ferroelectric ferromagnet and
rival the best materials that are solely ferroelectric or
ferromagnetic. Hindered by the absence of an appropriate
substrate to provide the desired compression we turned to
tensile strain. Here we show both experimentally and
theoretically the emergence of a multiferroic state under
biaxial tension with the unexpected benefit that even lower
strains are required, thereby allowing thicker high-quality
crystalline films. This realization of a strong
ferromagnetic ferroelectric points the way to
high-temperature manifestations of this spin-lattice
coupling mechanism. Our work demonstrates that a single
experimental parameter, strain, simultaneously controls
multiple order parameters and is a viable alternative tuning
parameter to composition for creating multiferroics.},
